Hey Jimmy, I'm assuming you just got hired. Did you get a gouge for the interview? could you give one? What were your times if you don't mind me asking?

Identical to the one on APC, I completely over studied for it. How would you fly a flight from Montreal to BTV, finger fly the approach, altitudes and headings. How to enter the hold after the missed approach(direct). METARs, TAFs yadayada. It was so easy I kept second guessing myself thinking it was a trick question, so the best thing to do I would say is just relax, they will hire you. My times are 2500tt, 110ME, ATP and all the CFIs. Good luck.

It's just like any other airline's training. The proverbial 'drinking from a fire hose' fits pretty well. Just memorize the flows and your packet you get before you come to class. Study hard in class and don't forget to go out one or two nights a week to have fun and decompress. The instructors here are top notch and you'll learn a lot. Enjoy!

I heard they dedicate an entire day on how to properly cook and eat Ramen noodles....

And that's for the upgrade class.

That day is on how to live an entire day on food taken from the free hotel breakfast.

That's "Survival School." Some of the techniques are borrowed from the Armed Forces Survival Handbook. Just remember that the fat grubs aren't always the most nutritious!

That's good thinking. I was just going to store up enough fat now so I wouldn't have to eat the first year. If you don't mind me asking, what was your average monthly take home the first year at Commut?

Nobody else would look at you with those times or do you have some connection to Commutair?
